I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was  31  the teddy bears beside her father  32  she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand.  33 , it seemed to add up to five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and kept  34  the Pokémon video games. Each time he showed one to his father, his father  35  his head, “No”.

Rather  36 , the boy gave up the video games and chose a picture book  37 . After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games. She excitedly picked up one   38  on top of the others, and raced down toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases(购买物) and  39  the girl and her father.

Then much to her  40 , the little boy and his father got in line  41  her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl  42  it back to the cashier(收银员) and said something secret to her. The cashier smiled and put the  43  under the counter(柜台). I was putting things in my bag when the little boy  44  the cashier. The cashier said, “Congratulations, you’re my hundredth customer today, and you win a(n)  45 !” and she handed the boy the Pokémon game. The boy could only stood there  46 . It was, he said,  47  what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and sweetest smile on her face I have  48  seen in my life.

I suddenly understood that the world is not  49  into the strong who care and the weak who are  50 . We must each in turn care and be cared.

A few years ago I received a postcard from a friend Jackson, who wrote, “I am skiing with abandon!” I believe he meant he was skiing skillfully, joyfully, peacefully and confidently. Although I have no hopes of ever skiing that way, I do dream of living with abandon. I believe that men and women through the ages who have led successful lives have captured these secrets of living life to the fullest.

1. Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sense of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your word, and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own standards, and not comparing yourself to others. It's not a question of being better than someone else; respect and integrity demand that you be better than you thought you could be.

2. Turn disappointments into strengths. Individuals who live with abandon have discovered that personal trials make them more sensitive and loving, while building character. They have learned that achievements worth remembering are stained (给...染色) with the blood of diligence and marked with the scars of disappointment.

The pages of history are filled with the heroic stories of men and women who overcame disabilities and difficulties to demonstrate victorious spirits. Raise him in extreme poverty, and you have an Abraham Lincoln. Make her blind and deaf, and you have a Helen Keller.

3. Enjoy life’s process, not just life’s rewards. We live in a goal-centered society that wants problems solved now. We want three-minute coffee, one-hour dry cleaning, and instant success. But to live with abandon, we must live one day at a time, enjoying the little victories, realizing that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal fulfillment.

4. Become involved in something bigger than yourself. I do not believe you will live happily if you set out to live life for yourself alone. Choose a cause bigger than you are and work at it in a spirit of excellence. It will become a part of you as you see your goals through to the end. Measure success not by what you've done, but what you could do.

During summer holidays, two classmates, Tom and Peter, were traveling in the desert. As they were walking, they had an argument, and Tom was so angry that he slapped Peter hard across the face. Peter felt hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote down in the sand these words: “Today my best friend Tom slapped me in the face.”

It was very hot, but they kept on walking and walking until they found an oasis(绿洲), where they decided to take a bath. Suddenly Peter got stuck in the mire(泥潭) and started drowning. Seeing that, Tom rushed over and saved him without any hesitation. After Peter got recovered from the drowning, he wrote with a knife on a stone: “Today my best friend Tom saved my life.”

Feeling curious, Tom, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked Peter, “After I beat you, you wrote something in the sand but just now you put down what I had done on a stone. Why?”

Peter replied: “When someone hurts us, we should take it down in the sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must carve it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

Hearing that, Tom was deeply moved and understood what Peter had said and what he had done.
